'Do You...Who are you?
"Do you." How many times have we heard that before. Who are you? Do you often turns out to mean do what you want to do. Because when you do you, the real you that tries to make the best decisions at all times, the risk of insulting or offending other people is significantly less.

Sometimes do you means do what feels good to you right at that moment. It feels good to sleep late and go shopping whenever you want, but the end result is usually a big rush later and money that you don't have is spent.
If we have children we can't, 'do you' or rather 'do us.' If we did 'us.' Only our hair would get combed. Dinner would be some fleeting circumstance that may or may not happen three times out of the month.
I would rather see that common phrase transferred into 'Do the best you.' Then we are more likely to see better results when it comes to our children. Doing you can be selfish. It often stands not to benefit anyone but the person being told to 'do you.'
Now, of course if you know and understand yourself to be the second self of God, then that is something else entirely. If you did the 'divine you' then you could not possibly function selfishly.
But in the mean time, until we gather that real sense of understanding 'doing you' is not the very best idea. At the very least we should try and follow a pattern better than ourselves, a patter that is to the benefit of more than just ourselves, but our children, families and communities.
